					<description><![CDATA[It&#039;d be pretty unseemly for the contest organizer to comment on the entries while the judging period is open but I will say that, while the overall quality seems on a par with last year&#039;s submissions, I found more than one entry to be almost stunningly well designed. Like, &quot;where did [designer x &amp; y] come from?&quot; in my opinion.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[He did kick some a$$ didn&#039;t he? It&#039;s like Dostoevsky meets graphic designer meets NCLB.

I mean this is the nicest way, his design from last year to this year is just light years better (sorry if that came out snarky &quot;Fred&quot;).

And speaking of snarky...Thanks for picking out a quote that makes me sound like a complete witch Dan, lol. It&#039;s ironic because most of your slides did not rely on hard to access data, you just need to look at your monthly phone bill to figure them out, and you rightly pointed out in your call for submissions that the myriad of ready made stats to exploit (google analytics, etc.) I apologize for my statement Dan, it was small of me.

I think some of this work was better than Feltron&#039;s report which was gorgeous, but low on context. Your addition of &quot;handwritten&quot; comments on the stats really did that with just a few words. Fred&#039;s slide titles were brutally good. I loved Ben&#039;s map of his runs which gave the numbers a lot more context than Feltron&#039;s figures about walking.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[These are all great but, in my opinion, Fred&#039;s blows all of the others away.  Not necessarily from a design point, although I do like the unity of design present, but that four simple statistics could so powerfully tell such a story...they are either the angriest or most dejected powerpoint slides I&#039;ve ever seen.  Possibly both.  Either way, simply brilliant.]]></description>
